Utica, NY

We are currently examining the possibility of starting a S/LUG in the Utica, NY / Mohawk Valley Area. What I would like to learn is if there is any existing demand for a S/LUG in the area. To my knowledge, there are not any LUGs already in existence in this area. I am surprised that there are not, as with the colleges (SUNYIT, Utica College, MVCC, Hamilton College) and Rome Labs so close, I would expect there to be at least a small number of Linux enthusiasts brewing.

I might be interested in joining a local LUG. There is a pretty active group in Ithaca, I'm not sure if there is anything closer.

Thanks

Aside from the Utica College group, the only other PC groups I could find are at: http://www.mvpcug.com/ & http://www.tcpcug.com/ I don't, however, know how close to you they are or what their stance is on Linux - probably worth getting in touch as they may be able to point you in the right direction.

I know you guys are a ways away, but there is the Western New York LUG here in Buffalo (http://www.wnylug.org) that maintains a VERY active mailing list that group members and nonmembers can read from and write to.

Is there anybody else interested in a LUG in Rome or Utica?

C'mon, AFRL has a Linux supercomputer just down the street. This should be a hotbed of linux.
